Graphics card upgrade how far is too far??

[charlieq7076]

Hello good people of overclockers,

I have had my main desktop a few years and like to keep tings running smoothly and up to date. It is mainly used for gaming and a bit of armature video editing from time to time. As games get more intense and videos pack in ever more pixels and fps i find my computed does struggle to keep up from time to time.

The current spec is below but i was wondering how much I could upgrade my graphics card without the rest of the harware letting things down. what do you think my system can handle and where is money best spent?

MOBO: intel DH67BL AAG10189-207 (pulled info from CPU-Z i hope it makes sense)
Processer: intel i5-2400 @3.1 GHz
Ram: 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
GPU: GTX 560TI
PSU: 750W
Windows 7 64bit
plently of storage and an SSD for system disk.

Would be grateful for any thoughts? Is going top of the range a good investment for when I do a new build in a few years or will I be disappointed.


Thanks in advance.
Charlie

Than you everyone helpful info,

I was kinda thinking of picking up a gtx780 now the bit that i find confusing which version of the 780 to go for?

yeah i was looking at the GTX780ti Gz edition from gigabyte but i see the gtx970 is a similar price.

So which has more bang for the buk? and which version of the 970 would you recommend?
